wmmwM®: 


Congress  during  their  last  sitting  having  passed  an  act,  by 
which  the  Duties  on  certain  articles  therein  named  are  mate- 
rially changed, — and  the  President  of  the  United  States  under 
date  of  22d  May,  1824,  having  approved  the  same,  I  have  con- 
sidered a  General  Compilation  of  the  several  Duties  imposed  on 
Imports  under  the  late  and  former  acts,  as  a  publication  at  this 
time  highly  interesting,  and  in  fact  necessary,  to  all  who  are  en- 
gaged in  commercial  pursuits. 

I  hazard  nothing  in  asserting  that  the  business  of  my  office 
has  been  invariably  conducted  with  that  zeal  and  devotion  to 
the  true  interest  of  individuals,  and  duty  towards  the  govern- 
ment, that  have  entitled  it  to  the  patronage  of  the  former,  and 
confidence  of  the  latter.  In  the  different  branches  of  my  esta- 
blishment, where  the  particular  blanks  required  were  not  pre- 
scribed by  law,  such  forms  were  devised,  as  conciseness  and 
utility  rendered  adviseable;  and  on  subjects  unconnected  with 
the  Revenue  Department,  I  composed  such  Blanks  as  the  na- 
ture of  my  business  as  an  Insurance  Broker  and  Adjuster  of 
Averages  seemed  to  require  to  facilitate  the  dispatch  of  busi- 
ness. 

I  could  not  have  expected  that  an  attempt  would  be  made 
to  wrest  from  me  the  credit  and  benefits  naturally  anticipated 
from  my  unwearied  application;  and  that  manuscript  blanks 
appertaining  to  my  particular  branch  of  business,  and  originating 
solely  in  my  office,  would  have  beeu  pirated,  published,  and 


[     iv     ] 

sold  in  a  mean  and  ungenerous  manner.  But  such  is  the  fact, 
and  to  guard  against  similar  depredations  and  trespasses  on  com- 
mon propriety,  I  have  secured  a  Copy  Right  of  my  present 
work,  of  which  all  those  disposed  to  reap  the  harvest  from  seed 
they  have  never  sown,  mitt  please  to  take  notice. 

With  the  Tariff  will  be  found  numerous  important  Notes 
and  References,  and  I  have  added  thereto  an  Appendix  of  Com- 
mercial Laws,  Tables  of  Custom-House  Fees,  Weights,  Tares, 
Guages,  Sec.  ;  Credits  on  Importations,  Foreign  Exchanges,  and 
other  valuable  information,  which  1  consider  extensively  useful 
to  Merchants.  Owners,  Supercargoes,  and  Masters  of  Vessels 
engaged  in  both  the  Foreign  and  Coasting  Trade,  and  compris- 
ed within  as  moderate  a  compass  as  the  subject  matter  would 
admit — all  information  herein  stated  involving  legal  points  on 
the  subject  either  of  Commerce  or  Insurance  may  be  relied  on 
as  correct. 

I  have  inserted  at  full  length  a  copy  of  the  act  approved 
the  22d  instant,  to  enable  the  reader  to  form  a  comparative  and 
more  comprehensive  view  of  its  effects  than  he  could  otherwise 
do  from  its  being  embodied  into  the  general  Tariff. 

Importations  will,  as  heretofore,  be  subject  to  the  addition 
established  by  law  of  20  per  cent,  from  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope 
or  any  place  beyond  it ;  10  per  cent,  from  any  other  place,  and 
an  addition  of  10  per  cent,  to  the  several  rates  of  duties  impos- 
ed on  all  articles  (teas  excepted,  on  which  a  specific  discrimi- 
nation is  made,  vide  article  Teas  in  the  Tariff  of  Duties,)  im- 
ported in  ships  or  vessels  not  of  the  United  States,  except  such 
as  are  entitled  to  the  benefits  of  the  convention  with  Great 
Britain  and  other  Powers,  a  list  whereof  will  be  found  herein.

Teas  by  the  following  decisions  of  the  Treasury  Department  it  appears 
that  io  partake  of  the  iowest  rate  of  duties  on  that  atticle,  it  must  be 
imported  direct  from  China. 

"The  ship  Delaware  arrived  at  the  port  of  Philadelphia  from  Canton 
the  6tli  April,  1310,  laden  with  Teas,  &c.  and  reported  the  cargo  for  a 
foreign  market.     She  proceeded  from  this  to  Gottenburg,  from  whence 


76-  Tariff* 

(not  finding  a  market)  she  returned  to  this  port  again  on  the  21st  De- 
cember, 1811,  without  having  landed  any  part  of  her  cargo,  from  the 
time  it  had  been  taken  on  board  at  Canton,  until  after  her  arrival  at  this 
port " 

The  question  arising  as  to  what  rate  of  duties  the  said  Teas  were 
subject — The  case  was  submitted  to  the  Treasury  Department  and  de- 
cided as  follows. 

"  Treasury  Department,  Comptrollers'  Office,  "> 
January  22d,  1812.  i 

"  I  have  given  to  this  case  a  careful  consideration  ;  and  have  felt  every 
disposition  to  make  the  decision  here  accord  with  what  seems  to  be 
your  expectations,  and  that  of  the  concerned.  But,  on  consulting  the 
precedents  established  on  analogous  cases,  and  reflecting  upon  those 
provisions  of  the  law  which  have  relation  to  the  subject,  1  am  con- 
strained to  declare  it  is  my  opinion  that  the  Teas  in  question  were,  in 
the  sense  contemplated  by  law,  brought  from  Europe,  and  that  they  are 
chargeable  with  duty  accordingly."

To  entitle  importations  to  (lie  benefit  of  drawback,  the 
vessel  in  which  the  goods  are  laden  must  have  cleared  at 
the  Custom-House  for  a  foreign  port,  and  be  actually  on  her 
voyage  within  one  year  from  the  date  of  importation  ot  the 
goods  so  exported.  Wines  and  distilled  spirits  to  retain  the  right 
of  drawback  must,  on  arrival,  be  declared  in  a  special  entry  for 
exportation,  and  be  deposited  in  the  public  stores  until  exported. 

Twenty  days  is  allowed  from  the  clearance  of  the  vessel  for 
signing  the  export  bond,  to  produce  the  certificate  of  the  goods, 
having  been  landed  in  a  foreign  port,  in  default  of  which  the 
drawback  is  inevitably  lost. 

The  amount  of  duties  on  each  exportation  must  amount  to 
at  least  50  dollars  on  the  same  importation  and  distinctly  on  the 
articles  of  salt,  teas,  wines,  spirits  and  other  goods,  and  the 
packages  must  not  be  broken,  but  precisely  the  same  in  quan- 
tity, quality,  package  and  contents  as  when  imported,  unavoid- 
able leakage  or  wastage  excepted. 

Any  goods,  wares,  or  merchandise  of  the  growth  or  manufac- 
ture of  the  United  States  which  may  have  been  exported  to  a 
foreign  port  or  place,  and  brought  back  to  the  said  States,  and 
upon  which  no  drawback,  bounty,  or  allowance  has  been  paid, 
no  duty  shall  be  demanded  :  Provided,  that  the  regulations  pre- 
scribed for  ascertaining  the  identity  of  such  goods,  wares,  and 
merchandise,  be  observed  and  complied  with.

IT  will  be  seen  that  goods,  ware  and  merchandise,  imported 
in  foreign  vessels,  which  have  not  been  placed  by  treaty  or 
special  acts  of  congress  on  an  equality  with  vessels  of  the  Unit- 
ed States,  are  subject  to  an  addition  of  ten  per  cent,  to  the  du- 
ties imposed  on  goods,  wares  and  merchandise,  if  imported  in 
vessels  of  the  United  States,  or  in  vessels  entitled  by  treaty, 
Sfc.  to  equal  benefits.  But  by  this  is  not  to  be  understood 
French  vessels,  when  importing  articles  of  the  growth,  pro- 
duce or  manufacture  of  France,  the  dufies  on  which  are  to  be 
regulated  by  the  treaty  with  that  country,  signed  the  24th  June, 
1822;  according  to  which,  such  articles,  thus  imported,  are 
at  present  liable  to  an  additional  duty  not  exceeding  $  3  -ffa 
per  ton  of  merchandise,  over  and  above  the  rates  paid  on  sim- 
ilar articles  when  imported  in  vessels  of  the  United  States,  but 
importations  in  French  vessels,  of  articles  not  the  growth,  pro- 
duce or  manufacture  of  France,  are  liable  to  the  usual  discrimi- 
nating duty  of  ten  per  cent,  between  importations  in  foreign, 
and  importations  in  American  vessels.

IN  comprising  in  a  small  compass,  a  Digest  of  the  most  im  - 
portant  Revenue,  Commercial  and  Maritime  Laws  of  the  United 
States,  and  adding  thereto  such  information  as  I  considered  in- 
teresting to  Merchants,  Supercargoes,  and  Masters  of  Vessels, 
I  did  not  contemplate  inserting  all  the  practical  forms  incident 
to  the  operation  of  those  Laws,  but  had  solely  in  view  the  object 
of  affording  to  Foreign  Merchants  and  persons  at  a  distance, 
such  correct  information  as  might  guide  them  in  the  outset  of 
their  enterprises,  and  in  the  event  of  difficulty  in  their  prosecu- 
tion; enable  them  to  adopt  such  precautionary  steps,  and  fur- 
nish themselves  with  such  documents  as  to  avert  the  penalty  of 
the  Revenue  Laws;  and  in  cases  of  Maritime  casualty,  to  pro- 
ceed with  a  due  and  impartial  observance  to  the  just  rights  of  all 
parties  concerned. 

I  must  here  advert  to  a  too  common  idea  prevailing  in  cases 
of  shipwreck,  that  when  owners  or  shippers  are  insured,  a  course 
of  proceeding  is  to  be  adopted  different  from  that  to  be  ob- 
served in  cases  of  non-insurance — such  erroneous  impressions 
ought  certainly  to  be  removed,  and  a  conduct  reprobated  that 
could  act  on  an  opinion,  that  underwriters  axe  fair  game. 

Should  this  publication  meet  with  a  favourable  reception,  I 
purpose,  at  some  future  time,  devoting  a  few  leisure  hours  to 
enlarge  on  that  part  of  the  subject  that  relates  to  Averages  and 
Partial  losses.  -  ,    .

from  port  to  port  with  regular  clearances,  until  her  entire  cargo 
is  delivered,  giving  bond  to  land  the  cargo  in  conformity  to 
law.  But  foreign  vessels  are  not  allowed  to  receive  any  other 
cargo  on  board  to  be  transported  coastwise.

appertaining  thereto,  as  far  as  the  river  St.  Mary's. 

Second  District. 

From  the  river  Perdido  to  the  Sabine  river,  including  the  sea 
coast  and  navigable  rivers  appertaining  thereto. 

Third  District. 
The  Floridas. 

Vessels  of  twenty  tons  or  above,  licensed  and  enrolled  for 
the  coasting  trade  may  proceed  from  a  port  in  either  of  the 
three  districts  aforesaid,  to  a  port  within  the  limits  of  the  same 
district,  without  clearing  or  entering,  unless  she  has  on  board 
Distilled  Spirits,  in  casks  exceeding  500  gallons  ;  Wine,  in  casks

then,  and  in  either  of  these  cases,  the  master  of  said  vessel  is 
bound  to  clear  at  the  port  from  whence  laden  and  to  enter  at 
the  port  of  his  destination,  under  the  penalty  of  100  dollars  in 
default  of  either.

forfeited,  and  if  amounting  in  value  to  800  dollars,  the  vessel, 
with  her  tackle,  apparel  and  furniture,  is  likewise  forfeited. 

Masters  of  coasting  vessels  are  by  law  obliged  at  all  times  to 
have  a  regular  manifest  made  out  and  kept  on  board,  whether

the  following  penalties :

lii  Appendix. 

Every  ship  or  vessel  that  may  arrive  in  this  harbour,  and 
that  shall  come  to  anchor  in  the  stream,  any  where  between 
Almond  and  Vine  streets,  having  previously  caused  her  gun- 
ponder,  if  any  she  had  on  board,  to  be  landed,  as  the  law  di- 
rects, may  remain  in  that  situation  twenty-four  hours  and  no 
longer,  taking  care  to  lay  as  near  to  the  island,  or  sand  bar,  as 
ma\  be  consistent  with  their  safety.  But,  if  from  the  circum- 
stance of  a  vessel  having  servants  on  board,  or  from  any  other 
cause,  it  may  be  thought  necessary  or  convenient,  to  lay  a 
longer  time  in  the  stream,  then,  and  in  every  such  case,  the 
owner,  master,  pilot,  or  other  person,  having  the  charge  or  di- 
rection of  such  vessel,  shall  remove  her  from  opposite  the  city, 
and  shall  moor  her,  or  cause  her  to  be  moored  to  the  northward 
of  Vine  street,  with  one  anchor  and  cable  up,  and  one  anchor 
and  cable  down  the  stream  ;  and  in  both  the  above  mentioned 
situations,  the  regulation  contained  in  the  next  succeeding  arti- 
cle to  be  duly  attended  to. 

If  any  ves-el,  properly  moored  in  the  stream,  shall  have  her 
am  iior  or  cable  overlaid  by  another  vessel,  in  anchoring  or 
mo  ing,  the  master  or  person  having  the  care  ar  direction  of 
such  iasi  mentioned  vessel,  shall  immediately,  or  as  soou  as  may 
be,  after  application  made  to  him  by  the  party  aggrieved,  cause 
the  said  anchor  or  cable,  so  overlaying  to  be  takeu  up  and 
cleared. 

Whtn  any  ship  or  vessel  shall  be  hauled  in  to  any  wharf  or 
dock,  or  alongside  of  another  vessel  that  may  be  lying  at  such 
wharf  or  uuck,  tiie  owner,  master,  pilot,  or  whoever  may  have 
the  command,  care  or  direction  of  her,  shall  have  her  securely 
made  last ;  and  if  outside  of  another  vessel,  shall  get  one  good 
fast  from  each  end  of  the  vessel  to  the  shore,  with  sufficient 
fenders  between  them  and  the  inside  vessel,  and  shall  cause  the 
flews  of  their  anchors  to  be  taken  in  board,  and  within  twenty- 
four  hour;  thereafter  cause  her  jib-boom,  spritsail  yard,  main 
boom,  spanker  and  ring-tail  booms,  if  any  they  have,  to  be 
rigged  in,  and  their  lower  yards  topped  up,  in  such  a  manner  as 
least  to  inteifere  with  vessels  passing. 

If  the  fasts  of  vessels  when  moored  at  a  wharf,  shall  extend 
across  a  dock,  so  as  to  obstruct  the  passing  and  repassing  of 
shallops,  lighter  or  other  craft  or  vessel,  the  master,  or  other 
person  having  the  command  of  such  ship  or  vessel,  shall,  upon 
the  first  application,  immediately  cause  such  fast  or  fasts,  to  be 
cast  off,  or  slacked  down. 

No  outward-bound  vessel,  putting  off  from  a  wharf,  shall  lay 
loafer  in  the  stream  between  Vine  street  and  Almond,  in  the 
district  of  iouthwark,  above  mentioned,  than  twenty-four  hours. 


Appendix.  liii 

And  if  vessels  lying  at  the  end  of  wharves  so  much  interlock 
with  each  other,  as  to  prevent  vessels  hauling;  in  and  out  of 
docks,  the  master,  owner,  pilot,  or  other  person  having  the 
charge  of  the  same,  shall,  immediately  on  application  from  any 
person  so  wanting  to  haul  his  vessel  in  or  out  of  the  dock  afore- 
said, have  the  vessel  or  vessels,  so  interfering,  moved  in  such 
a  manner  as  to  accommodate  the  one  applied  for;  in  which 
case,  the  vessel  making  room  for  another  to  haul  in  or  out,  shall 
have  liberty  to  make  her  warps  fast  to  the  most  convenient 
place  adjacent,  for  a  reasonable  time,  and  that  all  sea  vessels, 
when  transporting  or  wanting  to  haul  into  a  wharf  or  dock,  or 
to  make  sail  in  order  to  proceed  to  sea,  shall  have  the  same 
privilege. 

When  any  ship  or  vessel  may  be  lying  alongside  any  wharf, 
and  not  actually  taking  in  or  discharging,  she  shall  make  way 
for,  and  permit  any  vessel,  that  wants  to  unload  or  load,  to  come 
inside  next  the  wharf,  until  she  discharges  or  loads  her  cargo ; 
and  the  said  vessel  when  so  discharged,  or  loaded,  shall  haul 
outside  and  give  way  to  the  vessel  that  first  occupied  the  wharf; 
provided,  that  from  the  10th  day  of  December  to  the  1st  of 
March,  no  vessel  shall  be  compelled  to  move,  from  her  birth, 
(only  those  at  Gloucester  Point  piers,)  excepting  to  let  vessels 
in  and  out  of  docks. 

No  ship  or  vessel  loading  or  discharging  hemp  at  any  wharf, 
or  within  any  dock,  shall  be  allowed  to  have  any  fire  on  board; 
neither  shall  any  vessel  laying  outside  or  near  her.  be  permitted 
to  have  fire  on  board,  while  it  may  be  considered  dangerous. 
And  no  tar,  turpentine,  rosin,  or  pitch,  shall  be  heated  on  the 
wharf,  or  on  board  any  vessel  lying  at  any  wharf  within  the  lim- 
its of  the  city. 


COMPUTATION  OF  TONNAGE. 

That  when  vessels  are  freighted  by  the  ton,  and  no  special 
agreement  is  made  between  the  owner  of  the  vessel  and  the 
freighted  of  the  goods  respecting  the  proportion  of  tonnage  which 
each  particular  article  shall  be  computed  at,  the  following  regu- 
lation will  be  found  to  be  the  standard  of  Compulation. 

The  articles,  the  bulk  of  which  shall  compose  a  ton,  to  equal 
a  ton  of  heavy  materials,  shall  be  in  weight  as  follows

At  the  top  of  the  table,  marked  inches,  fathoms,  feet,  inches, 
the  first  column  is  the  thickness  of  the  rope  in  inches  and  quar- 
ters, and  the  other  three  fathoms,  feet,  and  inches  that  make  up 
a  hundred  weight  of  such  a  rope.  One  example  will  make  it 
plain  : 

Suppose  you  desire  to  know  how  much  of  a  seven-inch  rope 

•will  make  a  hundred  weight :  Find  7  in  the  third  column  under 

inches,  or  thickness  of  rope,  and  against  it  in  the  fourth  column 

you  find  9  5  6,  which  shews  that  there  will  be  9  fathoms  5  feet 

inches  required  to  make  one  hundred  weight.

Use  of  the  Table. 

The  first  column  marked  for  inches,  is  (he  thickness  or  cir- 
cumference of  the  cable  to  every  half  inch  from  3  to  24  inches; 
the  second,  marked  cwt.  qrs.  for  the  hundred  weight  and  quar- 
ters that  it  will  weigh,  if  120  fathoms  in  length. 

For  instance:  Suppose  it  be  a  cable  of  14  1-2  inches ;  look 
against  14  1-2  and  you  will  find  in  the  other  column  52cwt.  2 
qrs.  which  shews  that  120  fathoms  of  14  1-2  inch  cable  will 
weigh  52cwt.  2qrs.  and  so  in  others  :  and  any  quantity  of  a  less 
length  will  weigh  in  proportion. 


lviii  Appendix. 


OWNERS  OF  VESSELS. 

It  may  be  well  that  persons  about  becoming  purchasers  of 
vessels,  should  be  informed  that  the  register  or  enrolment  con- 
taining the  names  of  the  owners,  is  no  absolute  evidence  of 
their  title  to  the  property  ;  and  therefore  that  some  caution  is 
necessary  in  investigating  the  right  of  the  parties  from  whom 
the  purchase  is  made.  It  is  generally  concluded  that  a  register 
or  licence  and  enrolment  containing  the  names  of  the  owners, 
are  in  themselves  documents  guaranteeing  the  title.  But  the 
Custom  House  is  merely  an  office  of  record  to  register  the 
change  of  ownership,  and  establish  the  national  character  of 
the  vessel ;  and  it  is  therefore  as  essential  for  the  purchaser  to 
ascertain  that  no  liens  exist  against  the  vessel,  as  it  is  in  cases 
of  real  estate,  to  examine  the  records  of  a  court  for  judgments 
against  the  property. 

On  building  a  vessel,  all  that  is  requisite  to  obtain  a  register 
or  enrolment,  is  a  certificate  from  under  the  hand  of  the  princi- 
pal master  or  carpenter  by  whom,  or  under  whose  direction  the 
ship  or  vessel  was  built ;  testifying  that  she  was  built  by  him, 
or  under  his  direction,  aud  specifying  the  place  where,  the  time 
when,  and  the  person  or  persons  for  whom  ;  and  describing  her 
built,  number  of  decks  and  masts,  length,  breadth,  depth,  ton- 
nage, and  such  other  circumstances  as  are  usually  descriptive 
of  the  identity  of  a  vessel;  which  certificate  shall  be  suffi- 
cient to.  authorise  the  removal  of  a  new  vessel  IrGm  the  dis- 
trict where  she  may  be  built,  to  another  district  in  the  same,  or 
an  adjoining  state,  where  the  owner  or  owners  actually  reside, 
Provided,  it  be  with  ballast  only. 

Wages  of  the  seamen  for  services  daring  a  voyage  is  a  lien 
as  also  those  earned  in  rigging  and  fitting  out  a  vessel  for  a 
voyage  in  which  they  have  engaged  to  proceed,  if  the  owners 
do  not  afterwards  think  proper  to  send  the  vessel  as  intended. 

A  master  of  a  vessel  cannot  libel  a  vessel  for  wages,  be- 
cause he  is  presumed  to  trust  to  the  personal  credit  of  the 
owners,  whereas  the  seamen  make  their  contract  on  the  credit 
of  the  ship.  Every  officer,  except  the  master,  may  institute 
admiralty  proceedings  for  wages  due,  on  the  same  principle  as 
the  seamen. 

By  the  laws  of  Pennsylvania,  aud  other  states,  ships  and 
vessels  of  all  kinds,  built,  repaired,  and  fitted  within  this  state, 
are  declared  liable  for  all  debts  contracted  by  the  masters  or 
owners  thereof,  for  work  or  materials  done  or  furnished  by  any 


Appendix.  lis 

carpenter,  blacksmith,  mast  maker,  boat  builder,  block  maker, 
rope  maker,  sail  maker,  rigger,  joiner,  carver,  plumber,  painter, 
or  ship  chandler  ;  and  the  liens  bear  preference  to  any,  and 
before  any  other  debts  due  and  owing  from  the  owners  thereof: 
Provided  always,  No  ship  or  vessel  shall  contiuue  to  be  liable 
and  chargeable  for  such  debts  to  the  tradesmen  aforesaid  longer 
than  the  time  which  shall  intervene  between  the  contracting  of 
such  debts  and  the  time  of  her  proceeding  to  sea,  next  after 
the  work  shall  be  done,  or  the  materials  and  articles  furnished 
and  provided. 

Heavy  losses  having  been  sustained  by  persons  who  have 
furnished  the  copper  for  the  fastenings  and  bottoms  of  vessels, 
and  by  the  preamble  to  the  bill  the  legislature  having  evidently 
contemplated  affording  security  to  all  tradesmen  furnishing 
labour  ami  materials,  vessels  have  been  libelled  for  supplies  of 
that  article,  but  so  far,  I  believe,  no  termination  of  the  suits 
have  taken  place,  and  the  point  remains  doubtful.  But  the 
right  of  lien  for  the  mechanical  operation  of  puttiug  on  the  cop- 
per is  undisputed. 

The  master  of  a  vessel,  being  appointed  by  owners,  is  there- 
by held  forth  to  the  public  as  a  person  worthy  of  trust  and  con- 
fidence, and  he  not  being  generally  of  ability  to  make  good 
losses  which  may  arise  under  his  management  to  any  conside- 
rable amount — the  law  therefore  considers  the  master  in  the 
light  of  a  servant  to  the  owners,  and  from  the  confidential  situ- 
ation in  which  they  place  him,  if  they  were  not  held  under  the 
greatest  responsibility  for  his  acts,  a  door  might  be  opened  for 
fraud  and  collnsion — the  law,  therefore,  holds  the  owners  res- 
ponsible for  all  charges  of  repairs,  stores  and  provisions,  or 
monies  advanced  for  those  objects  to  an  amount  reasonably  fit, 
proper,  and  wanting  for  the  occasion — For  all  embezzlements 
of  goods  and  merchandise,  of  every  description,  so  far  as  the 
value  of  the  vessel,  appurtenances,  and  her  freight  growing 
due  during  the  voyage,  but  n<>  further. 

Owners  are  required  to  furni-li  vessels  of  the  burthen  of 
150  tons,  or  upwards,  navigated  by  ten  or  more  persons  in  the 
whole,  and  bound  on  a  voyage  without  the  limits  of  the  United 
States,  with  a  chest  of  medicines  put  up  by  some  apothecary 
of  known  reputation,  and  accompanied  by  directions  for  ad 
ministering  the  same,  and  the  said  medicines  shall  be  examined 
by  the  same  or  some  other  apothecary,  once  at  least  in  every 
year,  and  supplied  with  fresh  medicines  in  the  place  of  such  as 
shall  have  been  used  or  spoiled,  and  in  default  thereof  the  mas- 
ter or  commander  of  such  ship  or  vessel  shall  provide  and  pay 
for  all  such  advice,  medicine,  or  attendance  of  physicians  as 


lx  Appendix. 

any  of  the  crew  shall  stand  in  need  of  in  case  of  sickness  at 
every  port  or  place  where  the  ship  or  vessel  may  touch  or  trade 
at  during  the  voyage  without  any  deduction  from  the  wages  of 
such  sick  seaman  or  mariner.  And  every  vessel  bound  on  a 
voyage  across  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  shall,  at  the  time  of  leaving 
the  last  port  from  whence  she  sails,  have  on  board,  well  secured 
under  deck,  at.  least  sixty  gallons  of  water,  one  hundred  pounds 
of  salted  flesh  meat,  and  one  hundred  pounds  of  wholesome 
ship  bread,  for  every  person  on  board  such  ship  or  vessel  over 
and  above  such  other  provisions,  stores,  and  live  stock  as  shall 
by  the  master  or  passengers,  be  put  on  board,  and  in  like  pro- 
portion for  shorter  or  longer  voyages.  And  in  case  the  crew  of 
any  vessel  which  shall  not  have  been  so  provided,  shall  be  put 
upon  short  allowance  in  water,  flesh,  or  bread,  during  the  voy- 
age, the  master  or  owner  of  such  vessel  shall  pay  to  each  of  the 
crew  one  day's  wages  beyond  the  wages  agreed  on  for  every 
day  they  shall  be  so  put  to  short  allowance. 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  every  owner,  resident  within  the  Uni- 
ted States,  of  any  ship  or  vessel,  to  which  a  certificate  of  regis- 
try may  be  granted,  (in  case  there  be  more  than  one  such 
owner,)  to  transmit  to  the  collector,  who  may  have  granted  the 
same,  a  like  oath  or  affirmation  with  that  taken  and  subscribed 
by  the  owner,  on  whose  application  such  certificate  shall  have 
been  granted,  and  within  ninety  days  after  the  same  may  have 
been  so  granted ;  which  oath  or  affirmation  may,  at  the  option 
of  the  party,  be  taken  and  subscribed,  either  before  the  said 
collector  or  before  the  collector  of  some  other  district,  or  a 
judge  of  a  district  court  of  the  United  States,  or  of  a  superior 
court  of  original  jurisdiction  of  some  one  of  the  states.  And 
if  such  oath  or  affirmation  shall  not  be  taken,  subscribed,  and 
transmitted  as  is  herein  required,  the  certificate  of  registry, 
granted  to  such  ship  or  vessel,  shall  be  forfeited  and  void.

MASTERS  OF  VESSELS. 

Having  obtaiued  the  necessary  clearance  from  the  custom 
house,  reported  your  pilot  as  required  by  law  at  the  wardens 
office,  a  neglect  of  which  subjects  you  to  a  penalty  of  10  dol- 
lars;  and  received  instructions  to  proceed  from  your  owners, 
the  voyage  is  to  be  commenced  without  delay  as  soon  as  the 
weather  is  favourable,  hut  on  no  account  sail  out  during  tem- 
pestuous weather.  By  the  ancient  marine  ordinance,  the  Mas- 
ter is  required  before  he  hoists  sail,  to  consult  his  mate,  pilot, 
and  others  of  the  crew  as  to  the  wind  aud  weather :  but  such 
consultation  is  not  deemed  necessary  by  the  law  of  the  United 
States;  according  lo  which  the  entire  management  of  the  ship  is 
entrusted  to  the  master. 

Should  it  unfortunately  occur  after  the  voyage  is  begun 
and  before  the  ship  or  vessel  shall  have  left  the  land,  bound  on 
a  voyage  to  any  foreign  port,  that  .the  mate  or  first  officer  under 
the  master,  and  a  majority  of  the  crew  should  discover  that 
the  said  ship  or  vessel  is  too  leaky,  or  is  otherwise  unfit  in  her 
crew,  body,  tackle,  apparel,  furniture,  provisions  or  stores,  to 
proceed  on  the  intended  voyage,  and  shall  require  such  unfit- 
ness to  be  enquired  into,  the  master  or  commander  shall  upou 
the  request  of  the  said  mate  (or  other  officer)  and  such  majority 
forthwith  proceed  to  or  stop  at  the  nearest  or  most  convenient 
port  or  place  where  such  enquiry  can  be  made,  and  shall  there 
apply  to  the  judge  of  the  district  court,  if  he  shall  there  reside, 
or  if  not,  to  some  justice  of  the  peace  of  the  city,  town  or  place 
taking  with  him  two  or  more  of  the  said  crew  who  shall  have 
made  such  request:  and  thereupon  such  judge  or  justice  is  here- 
by authorized  and  required  to  issue  his  precept  directed  to  three 
persons  in  the  neighbourhood,  the  most  skilful  in  maritime  af- 
fairs that  can  be  procured,  requiring  them  to  repair  on  board 
such  ship  or  vessel,  and  to  examine  the  same  in  respect  to  the 
defects  and  insufficiencies  complained  of,  and  to  make  report 
to  him  the  said  judge  or  justice,  in  writing  under  their  hands, 
or  the  hands  of  two  of  them,  whether  in  any  or  in  what  respect 
the  said  ship  or  vessel  is  unfit  to  proceed  on  the  intended  voy- 
age, and  what  addition  of  men,  provisions  or  stores,  or  what 
repairs  or  alterations  in  the  body,  tackle  or  apparel  will  be  ne- 
cessary ;  and  upon  such  report  the  said  judge  or  justice  shall 
adjudge  and  determine,  and  shall  endorse  on  the  said  report  his 
judgment,  whether  the  said  ship  or  vessel  is  fit  to  proceed  on 
the  intended  voyage :  and  if  not,  whether  such  repairs  can  be 
made  or  deficiencies  supplied  where  the  ship  or  vessel  then  lays, 


lxii  Appendix. 

or  whether  it  he  necessary  for  the  said  ship  or  vessel  to  return 
to  the  port  from  whence  she  first  sailed,  to  be  there  refitted,  and 
the  master  and  crew  shall  in  all  things  conform  to  the  said  judg- 
ment :  and  the  master  or  commander  shall,  in  the  first  instance, 
pay  all  the  costs  of  such  View,  report  and  judgment,  to  be  tax- 
ed and  allowed  on  a  fair  copy  thereof,  certified  by  die  said  judge 
or  jus;ice.  But  if  the  complaint  of  the  said  crew  shall  appear 
upon  the  said  report  and  judgment,  to  have  been  without  foun- 
dation, then  the  said  master,  or  the  owner  or  consignee  of  such 
ship  or  vessel,  shall  deduct  the  amount  thereof,  and  of  reason- 
able damages  for  the  detention  (to  be  ascertained  by  the  said 
judge  or  justice)  out  of  the  wages  growing  due  to  the  complain', 
ing  seamen  or  mariners.  And  if  after  such  judgment  such  ship 
or  vessel  is  fit  to  proceed  on  her  intended  voyage,  or  after  pro- 
curing such  men,  provisions,  stores,  repairs  or  alterations  as 
may  be  directed,  the  said  seamen  or  mariners,  or  either  of 
them,  shall  refuse  to  proceed  on  the  voyage,  it  shall  and  may  be 
lawful  for  any  justice  of  the  peace  to  commit  by  warrant  under 
his  hand  and  seal,  every  such  seaman  or  mariner  (who  shall  so 
refuse)  to  the  common  goal  of  the  county,  there  to  remain  with- 
out bail  or  mainprize,  until  he  shall  have  paid  double  the  sum 
advanced  to  him  at  the  time  of  subscribing  the  contract  for  the 
voyage,  together  with  such  reasonable  costs  as  shall  be  allowed 
by  the  said  justice,  and  inserted  in  the  said  warrant,  and  the 
surety  or  sureties  of  such  seamen  or  mariner  (in  case  he  or  they 
shall  have  given  any)  shall  remain  liable  for  such  payment ;  nor 
shall  any  such  seaman  or  mariner  be  discharged  upon  any  writ 
of  habeas  corpus  or  otherwise,  until  such  sum  be  paid  by  him 
or  them,  or  his  or  their  surety  or  sureties,  for  want  of  any  form 
of  commitment,  or  other  previous  proceedings .  Provided, 
That  sufficient  matter  shall  be  made  appear,  upon  the  return  of 
such  habeas  corpus,  and  an  examination  then  to  be  had,  to 
detain  him  for  the  causes  herein  before  assigned. 

You  will  have  no  doubt  conformed  to  the  well  known  law  re- 
quiring the  Master  or  commander  of  any  ship  or  vessel  bound 
from  a  port  in  the  United  States  to  any  foreign  port,  or  of  any 
ship  or  vessel  of  the  burthen  of  fifty  tons  or  upwards,  bound 
from  a  port  in  one  state,  to  a  port  in  any  other  than  an  adjoin- 
ing state,  before  he  proceed  on  such  voyage  to  make  an 
agreement  in  writing  or  in  print,  with  every  seaman  or  mariner 
on  board  such  ship  or  vessel  (except  such  as  shall  be  appren- 
tice or  servant  to  himself  or  owners)  declaring  the  voyage  or 
voyages,  term  or  terms  of  times,  for  which  such  seamen  or 
mariner  shall  be  shipped.-  And  if  any  master  or. commander 
of  such  ship  or  vessel  shall  carry  out  any  seaman  or  mariner 


Appendix.  Ixiii 

(except  apprentices  or  servants  as  aforesaid)  without  such  con- 
tract or  agreement  being  first  made  and  signed  by  the  seamen 
and  mariners,  such  master  or  commander  shall  pay  to  every 
such  seaman  or  mariner  the  highest  price  or  wages  which  shall 
have  been  given  at  the  port  or  place  where  such  seaman  or 
mariner  shall  have  been  shipped,  for  a  similar  voyage,  witbio 
three  months  next  before  the  time  of  such  shipping:  Provided, 
such  seaman  or  mariner  shall  perform  such  voyage:  or  if  not, 
then  for  such  time  as  he  shall  continue  to  do  duty  on  board 
such  ship  or  vessel:  and  shall  moreover  forfeit  twenty  dollars 
for  every  such  seaman  or  mariner,  one  half  to  the  use  of  the 
person  prosecuting  for  the  same,  the  other  half  to  the  use  of  the 
United  States,  and  Mich  seaman  or  mariner,  not  having  signed 
such  contract,  shall  not  he  bound  by  the  regulations,  nor  subject 
to  the  penalties  and  forfeitures  contained  in  this  act. 

And  at  the  foot  of  every  such  contract,  there  shall  be  a  mem- 
orandum in  writing,  of  the  day  and  the  hour  on  which  such  sea 
man  or  mariner,  who  shall  so  ship  and  subscribe,  shall  reuder 
themselves  on  board,  to  begin  the  voyage  agreed  upon. 

In  the  event  of  any  disaster,  such  as  loss  of  masts  or  sails, 
the  vessel  springing  a  leak,  or  becoming,  from  any  cause,  un- 
manageable, you  are  justified,  after  a  consultation  with  your 
officers  and  crew,  to  make  the  nearest  port,  to  refit,  the  wind 
and  weather  will  admit  of.  If  you  are  not  far  on  your  voyage 
and  you  can  return  with  propriety  to  the  port  of  your  depar- 
ture, it  is  advisable  so  to  do,  as  affording  you  the  best  resources 
as  to  materials  and  means  to  repair  the  damages  sustained. — 
In  all  cases  do  not  omit  to  note  your  protest  immediately  on 
landing,  and  extend  it  in  due  season.  If  driven  by  necessity 
into  a  port  wherein  you  are  a  perfect  stranger,  you  will  natu- 
rally seek  the  assistance  of  persons  with  whom  you  have  rea- 
son to  belivc  there  is  an  acquaintance  or  correspondence  with 
your  owners  or  principal  shippers,  and  follow  their  advice  in  all 
matters  not  at  variance  with  the  principles  of  law  and  usage  as 
herein  stated.  If  obliged  to  resort  to  strangers  you  will  seek 
those  of  the  first  respectability,  and  obtain  their  services  on  the 
most  moderate  terms,  and  let  their  advances  be  repaid  by  their 
orvn  drafts  on  your  owners,  or  by  executing  a  bottomree  bond, 
as  may  be  required.  But  I  advise  you  not  to  become  the 
drawer  or  endorser  of  any  note  or  draft ;  because,  in  case  of' 
dishonour  you  will  be  held  personally  liable,  and  for  which 
you  will  not  be  entitled  to  an  adequate  consideration.  If  you 
cannot  succeed  in  raising  money  on  the  terms  above  mention- 
ed, you  are  justified  in  disposing  of  such  part  of  the  cargo  as, 
from  information  corroborated  by  your  own  judgment,  you  may 


lxiv  Appendix. 

be  induced  to  conclude  best  adapted  to  the  market.  You  will 
not  omit  calling  a  survey  without  loss  of  lime,  and,  if  a  consul 
of  the  United  States  resides  at  the  place  of  your  arrival  or 
near  thereto,  it  will  he  well  to  have  immediate  recourse  to  him 
to  supply  the  necessary  official  documents.  If  compelled  to 
land  your  cargo  for  the  purpose  of  refitting,  and  any  part  there- 
of should  be  found  in  a  perishable  state,  you  will  cause  a  spe- 
cial survey  to  be  held  thereon,  and  then  have  such  damaged  v 
part  sold  by  public  outcry,  for  the  benefit  of  whom  it  may  con- 
cern— (on  goods  obliged,  from  their  perishable  stale,  to  be  sold 
or  to  defray  disbursements,  you  are  entitled  to  full  freight,  pro- 
vided the  vessel  proceeds  the  voyage.)  Be  careful  to  observe 
the  utmost  precision  in  procuring  regular  and  official  docu- 
ments, in  original  and  duplicate,  of  the  protest,  surveys,  and  all 
papers  and  accounts  whatever,  incident  to  your  proceedings. 
If  after  regular  surveys  it  is  decided  the  vessel  cannot  proceed 
the  voyage,  and  is  condemned  on  the  grounds  of  either  total 
unseaworthiness,  impossibility  of  procuring  materials  to  repair, 
or,  that  the  cost  of  repairing  would  exceed  her  value  when  re- 
paired ;  you  can  then  tranship  your  cargo  by  any  good  vessel 
for  the  original  port  of  your  destination;  or  if  of  a  perishable 
nature,  and  no  immediate  opportunity  presents  for  so  doing,  it 
will  be  advisable  to  effect  immediate  sales  at  public  auction — 
should  you  succeed  in  procuring  a  conveyance,  you  may  ob- 
tain the  freight  on  the  best  terms  possible,  and  if  at  a  lower 
rate  than  that  specified  in  your  original  bills  of  lading,  you  are 
nevertheless  entitled  to  freight  in  conformity  to  the  original 
contract ;  if  at  a  higher  rate  the  consignees  of  the  goods  are 
bound  therefor.  In  the  latter  ease  all  expenses  of  unlading, 
labour,  storage,  commissions,  re-shipping,  &c.  are  chargeable 
on  the  goods  alone,  according  to  their  nelt  value  at  the  port  of 
delivery.  But  in  the  former  case,  if  the  owners  are  to  benefit 
by  the  freight,  it  is  but  reasonable  that  all  the  charges  above  enu- 
merated should  be  apportioned,  and  borne  by  goods  and  freight 
according  to  their  respective  interests. 

Should  the  vessel  be  condemned  from  either  of  the  causes 
before  enumerated,  any  wages  due  to  the  officers  and  crew 
must  be  paid  out  of  the  proceeds  of  the  vessel,  as  in  cases  of 
shipwreck. 

If  the  vessel  cannot  proceed  the  voyage,  and  no  other  ves- 
sel can  be  procured  on  board  which  the  cargo  can  be  tranship- 
ped, as  before  specified,  no  freight  pro  rata  is  earned,  and  in 
this  case  you  will  collect  all  your  funds,  documents  and  ac- 
counts, and  return  home  by  the  first  opportunity,  and  for  your 
agency  you  will  be  entitled  to  full  wages,  and  all  reasonable  ex-

pence,  to  the  day  of  your  arrival.  Be  careful  to  bring  with 
you  your  register  anil  crew  list,  (unless  previously  delivered  to 
a  consul  of  the  United  States,)  and  deliver  the  same  to  the 
collector  of  the  port  where  you  belong,  within  eight  days  after 
your  arrival. 

We  will  however  imagine  the  vessel  to  have  received  such 
injuries  only  as  in  the  opinion  of  the  surveyors,  can  be  readily 
repaired,  and  that  being  accomplished,  you  will  of  course  use 
every  possible  exertion  to  prosecute  your  voyage,  not  doubt- 
ing your  attention  having  been  strictly  directed,  in  every  de- 
partment of  disbursements  to  the  utmost  economy.  In  the  ac- 
counts of  the  mechanics  be  careful  to  discriminate  between  re- 
pairs which  may  have  been  required  from  the  perils  of  the 
pending  voyage,  and  those  which  may  have  been  incurred  from 
previous  defects  or  wear  and  tear.  And  should  any  of  the  ma- 
terials be  intended  to  answer  temporary  purposes  only,  the 
survey  and  bills  should  be  designated  in  conformity. 

Having  arrived  with  your  vessel  and  uargo  at  your  port  of 
destination,  and  your  repairs  being  only  temporary,  you  will 
immediately  hold  another  survey  to  direct  what  materials  and 
workmanship  are  necessary  to  constitute  your  vessel  being 
every  way  staunch  and  strong,  to  proceed  on  another  voyage, 
which  it  is  your  bounden  duty  to  observe. 

All  repairs,  arising  from  a  voluntary  and  deliberate  sacrifice, 
such  as  masts  and  appendages  cut  away  to  lighten  the  vessel 
when  in  imminent  danger  of  foundering.  Cables  cut,  when 
the  vessel  is  dragging  her  anchors,  and  apprehensions  exist  of 
her  going  ashore  or  running  foul  of  another  vessel;  and  in  fact 
whatever  sacrifices  are  made  for  general  benefit,  are  to  be  re- 
paid by  general  contribution,  say  by  vessel,  freight  and  cargo, 
in  proportion  to  their  respective  nett  values,  at  the  port  of  de- 
livery. These  observations  apjdy  also  to  any  part  of  the  car- 
go jettisoned,  (except  goods  on  deck  which  are  not  paid  for, 
but  nevertheless  contribute)  to  relieve  the  vessel  when  in  dis- 
tress. 

It  is  a  sound  principle  of  maritime  law,  that  the  collateral  is 
to  follow  the  principal.  Hence  if  in  a  storm  the  masts  are 
carried  away,  and  you  are  obliged  to  cut  away  the  sails,  rig- 
ging, &c.  to  clear  the  wreck,  the  whole  of  the  loss  falls  on  the 
vessel  alone,  and  this  doctriue  is  applicable  to  every  description 
of  casualty. 

In  adjusting  a  case  of  general  average  it  may  be  useful  to 
you  to  state  that  the  following  are  fair  charges,  i.  e.

The  officers'  and  seamens'  wages,  according  to  Ihe  shipping 
articles,  from  the  day  the  vessel  bears  away  to  seek  a  port  of 
safety,  until  the  day  she  is  again  refitted,  reladen,  and  ready  to 
proceed  (he  voyage  ;  this  is  uudisputed  according  to  the  laws 
of  the  United  States. 

Port  pay  for  the  captain  atone  dollar  per  diem. 

Provisions  for  mates  and  crew  at  thirty-three  and  one-third

Expenses  of  pilotage,  landing,  wharfage,  transporting,  stor- 
age, relading,  commissions,  and  loss  of  exchange. 

Loss  on  goods  sold  to  defray  charges,  to  be  computed  at  the 
value  of  what  the  same  would  have  netted  the  shipper  or  con- 
signee at  the  port  of  destination. 

Charge  for  protests  and  surveys  previous  to  discharging. 

Custom  House  fees. 

Co^t  of  stating  the  general  average. 

To  define  all  the  causes  from  which  a  subject  of  general  ave- 
rage might  arise,  or  to  recapitulate  all  the  minute  charges  inci- 
dent thereto,  would  occupy  more  space  lhan  has  been  stated  to 
be  the  object  of  my  present  undertaking ;  but  I  trust  I  have 
sufficiently  enlarged  on  the  several  points  thereof  to  constitute 
a  ground-work  on  which  to  regulate,  by  simple  reasoning,  a  de- 
cision in  almost  all  cases  which  may  occur. 

New  materials  replaced,  and  workmanship  necessary  thereto, 
are  subject  to  a  deduction  of  one-third  of  the  cost,  except 
anchors  and  chain  cables,  on  which  no  deduction  is  to  be  made  ; 
whether  the  loss  be  in  the  nature  of  partial  or  general  average. 

I  have  laid  down  these  several  points  of  law,  because  in  cases 
of  general  average  an  adjustment  must  take  place  at  the  port  of 
delivery,  as  there,  and  there  only,  can  you  have  controul  over 
the  cargo,  which  you  are  not  bound  to  deliver  until  you  have 
received  satisfactory  security  by  bond  or  otherwise.  In  cases 
of  partial  loss  or  repairs  to  be  borne  by  the  vessel  alone,  it  is 
advisable  to  transmit  all  the  documents  to  your  owners  to  be 
arranged  and  settled  as  they  may  judge  proper. 

Finally — the  master  of  a  ship  who  has  contracted  debts  on 
account  of  the  ship,  has  a  lien  upon  the  goods  and  freight  to  the 
amount  of  such  debts  ;  and  the  consignees  of  the  cargo,  after 
notice  to  this  effect,  cannot  pay  the  freight  to  the  owner  without 
the  consent  of  the  master,  and  if  they  do,  they  will  be  liable  to 
refund  so  much  as  the  extent  of  the  debts.

assuring  you,  that  you  may  rely  with  confidence  they  are 
derived  from  the  best  legal  authorities  and  decisions.  I  think 
it  requisite  merely  to  add  a  list  of  such  documents  as  are  neces- 
sary for  you  to  procure  and  transmit  to  your  shippers  in  the 
event  of  the  cargo  receiving  damage  on  the  voyage,  and  simply 
adding  that  all  coods  in  a  deteriorated  state  should  be  sold  at 
public  auction  as  soon  after  landing  as  may  be  consistent  with 
due  notice  of  the  sale.
